Terminal: Project has
faced a series of setbacks
Continued from Page 1A
Tara Lee, a spokeswoman
for Gov. Jay Inslee, said Thurs-
day the state doesn’t comment
on pending litigation but “we
are confident that the state’s
position is solid.”
Inslee, a Democrat, has
made climate change a key
issue and has pushed to move
the state away from coal
toward renewable resources.
“We remain focused on
defending our decision. We
are confident that it will con-
tinue to stand up because it’s
based on Washington state
law,” a Department of Ecol-
ogy spokesman said Friday.
Earlier this month, the
American Farm Bureau Fed-
eration, the National Associ-
ation of Manufacturers, the
National Mining Association
and the American Fuel & Pet-
rochemical
Manufacturers
also filed a joint brief backing
the project developers.
“The interest and filing by
these states and trade groups
reinforces our position that
this case is about much more
than a single company and a
single commodity,” Light-
house Resources said in a
statement Friday. “The broad
support for our case demon-
strates that Washington
State’s actions threaten funda-
mental principles and protec-
tions established in the consti-
tution’s Commerce Clause.”
BNSF Railway and five
environmental groups that
oppose the terminal have also
intervened on opposing sides
of the lawsuit.
Kristen Boyles, an attor-
ney with Earthjustice repre-
senting environmental groups
including the Washington
Environmental Council and
Columbia Riverkeeper, said
“there’s no vast conspiracy
here.”
“Different agencies denied
permits to build one coal
terminal that has harmful
(impacts). That’s not a war on
coal or a war on the economy.
Millennium wants to blow
this up to something that is
enormous,” she said.
The project has faced
a series of regulatory and
other setbacks, including last
fall when the Washington
Ecology Department denied
the project a key water
permit.
In a court filing, lawyers
for Washington state have
asked the federal judge to dis-
miss many of the claims and
abstain on other claims while
multiple suits are pending in
state courts.
